Kim Kardashian App In-App Purchases

Are Kids Being Scammed by the Kim Kardashian Game?

Kim Kardashian has a few years until she has to worry about little North West becoming a gamer. Until then, she'll have to settle for millions of other people playing her video game, which is currently on the top 10 list in the iTunes store. But is there a chance that Kim is preying on young gamers who are trying to become famous — the goal of the game? One very vocal mom thinks so.

Ayelet Waldman, who you may remember as the mom who sparked an outrage in 2005 when she wrote an article in The New York Times declaring, "If a good mother is one who loves her child more than anyone else in the world, I am not a good mother. I am in fact a bad mother. I love my husband more than I love my children," went on a Twitter tirade last night when she and her 11-year-old son discovered that he had spent $120 on in-app purchases while playing the game — despite the parent controls she and her husband have on their son's account.

People, most apps charge money... It's not a rip off. Just turn off in app purchases. No need to make a big deal out of it

Am I supposed to believe her kids were"crying hysterically" all on their own? What did she do or say to cause that kind of distress? Just another crazy manipulator.

An abomination! Honestly, this kind if crap is why people want to kill America. I heard this no talent 'you know what' is making $75,000 a day. This should make everyone sick. Even worse these apps are made to prey on children. I shutter to think about how many pore kids have gotten in sever trouble with their parents for being tricked into buying this garbage. Now that is the real tragedy, some parents might over react and kids could be hurt over this.
